Very, very useful, more or less like a square wheel, which can also roll if pushed hard enough.

I mean, just show a "Calculating pages" text in footer, keep your main CPU resources in making the device responsive to the user inputs without great delays, and then take all the time you need to finish that calculation.

But I like the fix, it doesn't work for me in the way you're saying it. I would have stayed with epub if I would have wanted the behaviour you desire
So: "No funciona, así que mejor que lo toquen" (Spanish)
